DROP AND ADD POLICY

Same as University.  Please review.

 

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attendance is very important.  No one will be admitted to class late! Entering the class room after the start of class is very disrupting and inconsiderate of your class mates. If you cannot get to class before the scheduled start time DO NOT COME! If you must leave during class time DO NOT RETURN! Announced and unannounced quizzes will be given frequently. All absences, except those having to do with pre-approved SOSU functions, will be considered unexcused.

 

Make-up exams will be given in extenuating circumstances only, and only with prior permission. Credit will not be given for assignments that are turned in after their due date.  There will be no make-up quizzes.

 

CELL PHONE POLICY

The use of cell phones in class will not be permitted.  If you must bring a cell phone or pager to class, turn it off and place it out of sight.  DO NOT ANSWER calls in class!  You will not be allowed to use a cell phone calculator in class at any time.  You are responsible to bring a calculator to class when needed.

 

If you have a special requirement for pager or cell phone access in class, contact your instructor BEFORE class.  These requests will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

2.  Taking an examination for another student, or allowing another student to take one's examination;

 

3.  Possessing unauthorized notes, study sheets or other materials during an examination or other academic exercise;

 

            4.  Falsifying or tampering with examination results.

 

5.  Completing, copying, or using the results of any other student's computer assignments.

 

Plagiarism may be defined as the use of another's ideas or words without acknowledgement.  Examples of plagiarism may include:

 

            1.  Failing to use quotation marks when quoting from a source;

 

            2.  Failing to document distinctive ideas from a source;

 

            3.  Fabrication or inventing sources.
